About Me

junk“KAT” & MODIANO (Yael Acher) FUNKY JUNK Jazz & El. Noise, Word, & VisualsCD Reviews: - “…Acher raises the excitement level frequently by using overblowing techniques to ignite the collective voices”.- Cadence Magazine, June ’04, by Frank Rubolino (USA) - “…inheritance of post-hard-bop is specially original and convincing.” – Jazz Magazine, February ’04, by Thierry Quénum (France) - “Hallelujah!”- Jazz Special, Aug/Sep ’03, by Anders Kirkegaard (Denmark). - “Very dense…highly original interation between organic and non-organic elements…very uninhibited and arresting tapestry of sound….” – Berlingske Tidende, April ’02, by Kjeld Frandsen (Denmark).“Kat”s expressions vary from structured orchestration to free-style FUNKY tunes, in different moods. It’s RETRO 60’s / 70’s influences are blending with Hip Hop vibe. It’s a fusion between instruments & Words and electronic-noise, added by a screening of a video made of “Krazy Kat” images. This fringy format of Electro/instrumental Jazz, with diverse instrumental combinations, was established by Acher in Europe since 1998, with tours, broadcasting, releases, features, and reviews. “KAT” is named after “Krazy Kat”, THE surreal cartoon strip, created by George Herimman during 1912-1944.
